Füür Brännt

Somewhere near a shallow river, on a concrete playground, or in a small garden, people come together in groups. They will play games, challenge and provoke one another. They will discuss and argue, trying their best to understand one another. They will try to get close to find or strengthen a connection they may see. Sometimes they will succeed and sometimes they will fail. And just moments before the sun rises, they will fall silent and part again, taking with them some memories and leaving others behind.

«Füür Brännt» is a film about groups, their moods and dynamics that can emerge throughout a day. It's a fictional observation of everyday moments that can give us insight into how empowering, complex and fragile simple human get-togethers can be.
